In one of the more surreal moments of my life, amma and MP sat down together and watched an entire episode of Ek Se BadhKar Ek--one of the many thoroughly annoying programs on an Indian cable network called Zee TV that my parents (like most South Asian, diasporic parents) LOVE--while I flitted in and out of the room, going about my own business.
"Shahrukh Khan is my favorite actor," I heard amma tell him at one point.
"Do you like Salman Khan?" MP asked.
"Yes, he's nice too," she said thoughtfully.
"Though a bit of an alcholic, no?"
MP, as many of you already know, is NOT South Asian.
It was bizarre.

There's something rather adorable about that conversation

We've started netflixing oldies so that the wife can pick up a bit of the language.
BTW you need to karaoke with his parents.
